Their Vice or Iniu∣stice is in

Diuiding: Cassiuelan appointed vnto Androgy the eldest sonne of Lud the Citty of Caerlud, and the land of Kent, and to Tenancy the younger sonne the Land of Cornewall, and kept the kingdome from them, though they were his elder brothers true sons, and vsurped it himselfe by force. He is not fit to be a Pro∣tector that is ambitious: it is a wofull thing, to be a childe among our enimies, or amongst the enuious sectaries.

Reuenging: Androgy being vnable of himselfe to withstand Cassiuelan sent letters to I. Caesar in Gallia, and certified him, that if he would come into Brutany he should be welcome: when hee had gotten Caesars Army to set vppon Cassiuelan in the valley of Dorober∣nia or Canterbury, and the fight had endured till both partes were almost weary, he came vpon Cassiuelan with a fresh reply, and put him to flight: and thus he displeased the whole realme to please himself, yet his owne hurt was neuer the lesse for making the misery of his Country greater. But when Cassiuelan thought to punish Androgy, he punished himselfe as much as him, he did euen put fire to Brimstone, and flaxe to the flame. It was traiterously done of him, to warre against his legitimate king, and of Androgy, to make his natiue Country subiect to outlandish Powers.
